    I think little has changed I am 53 and can remember getting my first lurcher in 1984 £35 exchange & mart! The 1980s were a boom time for lurcher & terrier shows and working/ show lurcher & terriers went for daft money then,there were folks in it for the money just like today and it will never change,there’s been breeds lost but also new types on the scene,what’s changed today is image and tough talk which spoils things abit for me but overall things aren’t too bad.

    I’ve just google hawkers duramitex to see if you can still get it,hawkers still make a alternative product,they say it kills mites etc as good as the old stuff but the protection only last 12 weeks were as the old stuff gave 18 months protection in lofts,the old stuff was a organophosphate that’s why it was so affective.

    I’ve just ordered Advantage spot on which gets good reviews from petdrugsonline.co.uk £9.40 to £9.80 for 4 pipettes depending on dog size. Costco also do virbac effipro under a £10 for 4 pipettes but don’t always have it in plus you need a card to get in Costco, the reviews I’ve been reading put advantage in front of front line & virbac.if you can get old of Duramitex which is pigeon loft mite killer this stuff works for ridding kennels & dogs of fleas but difficult to get hold of now. Invest in tuffie dog beds or similar as are easy to clean & dry but expensive.

    If you don’t now the lad then charge him a stud fee £150 ish that’s paid at the mating,the stud fee usually sorts out the in it for profit brigade,if he pays the fee and makes an excellent job of the pups regards there upbringing & finding them good homes then you could always give him the stud fee back.

    Don’t know of one in West Yorkshire,I’ve always had to travel to Leigh nr Wigan to see Ken Woodacre 07836 787194.ken used to travel around greyhound stadiums & many motorway services but he retired from traveling a few years back,if he’s still in the game you will need to travel to Leigh to see him,i last went to see him around 5 years ago with a lame spaniel,Ken’s a great bloke and I’ve had some excellent results with him and he only charges £5.

    Don’t you think the dogs mouth looks crooked, bottom teeth & top teeth are not inline, dogs teeth help keep the mouth inline.

    Don’t think I would be too keen on going to ground with what looks like no teeth.

    6 I would say is average but I’ve heard of 10 so fingers crossed.ftch x working dog is a good combination as too much ftch in the pedigree can make them harder to handle for what you want,what I will say is don’t bother getting one even if it’s free unless you are going to put the time in leaning it the basics or it will be three fields away hunting for its self.

    A cocker that couldn’t do a full days work,they must have been show bred or ill, cockers can work all day & everyday, pound for pound there’s not a stronger dog,my last cocker who was on the big side for a cocker he could get over a 5ft dry stone wall with a large hare.

    Yes I’ve got one,they are good in any cover,wet weather up to the tits in mud not bother them,today I’ve had mine bumping rabbits off 3-4 inch of corn today.cockers can be strange dogs they are a little odd at times but get one with a good working pedigree and you won’t go to far wrong,I am on my second and they have both been loyal dogs,the one I have now is an excellent guard house dog, training is the key to a good cocker as without it they can be a pain.

    Dermisol cream is good at quickly healing wounds like stoppers cut, you can buy from Hyperdrug or vets.

    I didn’t get him from that bloke but know someone who’s been out with them hunting and says they are decent dogs & pack really well,cheers.

    Which bloke? Pups not a full Sealyham if you are thinking of that bloke who’s been in country mans weekly with a pack of Sealyham terriers, he is half Russell.

    Here’s Ted my Sealyham/Russell at 20 weeks retrieving a shot rabbit, at first he wanted to drag it by the ear but th penny soon dropped,he’s been sitting at distance to voice & whistle since he was 14 weeks.

    Richmond house, Dewsbury, they also have a surgery in Wakefield, pups inoculations for both jabs £26, I’ve used them for years with no problems, only downside is it’s busy.

    In the pic she looks quite tall for her breeding,what size is she, looks fit with nice head.

    I stand corrected,seems a bit daft price dependent on colour,but Merles are very attractive.

    £350 is nothing for a dog,if the dog lives to 12yrs it’s under £30 a year,the doubters will probably be paying £350 a year for there phone ffs, it’s a school night so most likely you will not get anymore flack tonight !!
  25. Str
    Just wanted to know we’re you got information from? I thought they were £350 regardless what colour.
